Doc, my heart feels funny. Also, I seem to be one of those people whose organs are mirror-imaged.
Well, it’s not serious. In fact, everything I’m hearing is rather light-hearted.
…I don’t know…
It’s a murmur
But nothing serious
“It’s not serious” = “It’s joking around”, which as Folly says, =”It feels funny”. And as a plus “it’s annoying”.
I first thought it was something about a heart knocking means it tells knock-knock jokes, which the first few aren’t, but I think that’s over thinking.
It starts off as something not serious.
Then he’ll next find himself “Knock, Knock, Knocking On Heaven’s Door”.
“It’s nothing serious” meaning “None of the noises from your body mean anything dire.” I guess…
Woozy has it, the heart is being serious because it’s cracking jokes. Annoying ones.
For those who are thinking that the patient has situs inversus, I’d say that it’s more likely that the doctor is auscultating the apex of the lungs, and the patient is just breathing funny.
I would check the upper extremities next, for damage to the humerus.
This one is an LOL for me – or would be if we got to hear the punchlines.
But, Scott, the first one *was* a punchline.
This comic and the comments above remind me of an ancient Andy Capp strip(*), in which a friend tells Flo that her marital situation is “Serious, but not hopeless“, whereupon Flo describes her own as “Hopeless, but not serious“.
P.S. (*) – I looked, but was not able to find this strip online. The GoComics archive does not go back beyond 2002, and thus does not contain a single strip drawn by Reg Smythe.
+1 to ianosmond.
“Hopeless, but not serious” Is a line in the early-60s movie “One, Two, Three” (a dated but hilarious flick) where it’s used to describe the political situation in Cold War Berlin.
That’s where the phrase originated? Thanks: I’ve fulfilled my “learn something new every day” quota.
From WikiPedia (I was actually looking for the Andy Capp strip, but went off on a tangent): Situation Hopeless… But Not Serious is a 1965 comedy film directed by Gottfried Reinhardt and starring Alec Guinness, Mike Connors and Robert Redford. It is based on the novel The Hiding Place by Robert Shaw.
The title is a variation of an old Viennese saying; “The situation is desperate but not serious.”
